THE RIGHT OF PETITION g..

The right of petition has nowhere been
more fully recognized than in this King
dom. This right may not have been
always judiciously exercised in this
country, but in no instance has an audi
ence or an hearing been denied, whether
addressed to the King, the Ministry, the
Judiciary or the Legislative Assembly
The Hawaiian people are accustomed to
a ready resort to their right Of petition
for redress of grievances.
They have not yet learned to regard
their petition as the presentation of an
ultimatum, but rather as IA persuasive
appeal, which it is hoped will influence
the decision, or change the action of
public authority. But we have in our
community few agitators, who wish to
insist that petition from them shall be
regarded as an ultimatum, from which
there is no issue, except concession to
their will, or revolution, and yet such
persons prate about the Constitution.
They would evidently set the Consti-
tuition at naught in order to have their
will and sway. But the ears of Govern
ment in these islands have been accus-
toned to this kind of clamor from class
of persons, who oftentimes have but a
small stake in the country
Look over the record and see how
often there has been squad of foreign
ers attempting to dictate to and bully a
Government deemed weak and incapa-
BILE of resenting their intrusive inso-
lence. Such bands of agitators are con-
stantly making the outcry that they rep
resent and speak for the mass of the peo-
pie. Now let them show that they have
the mass Of the people, or rather the
majority of voters at their back. Let
them exercise their intelligence and use
their means to control the SURFACES of
the people, and among other things re-
sort TO the right of petition. This right
is legitimate measure to which to re-
sort TO promote an improvement in the
condition or character of public affairs,
and if the petition fails let them marshal
their votes and prove their strength in
constitutional country In a constitutional

Workinemen and Drink.

T. v. Powderly says in the Journal o.
United Labor: In the City of New York
alone it is estimated that not less than S25O,
600 day are spent for drink; 81 ,5OO,OOO in
one week; T5,0O, 900 in one year. Who will
DISPUTE it when say that one-half OF the po-
licemen Of New York City are employed to
watch the beings who squander ST5,O00,Oo0
year? Who will dispute it when I! say that
the money spent in paying the salaries ana
expenses of one-half Of the police or New
York could be saved to the taxpayers If S'33,'
OO), 900 were not devoted to making drunk
ards. thieves, prostitutes, and otller subJecd
for the policemens net to gather in: II SOU,
600 90 over the counters Of the rurnseller in
one day in New York City alone, who will
dare to assert that workingmen DO not pay
one-fifth, or $50, 900, Of that sum! Ii work-
inemen in New York City spend S3O,0o a
day for drink, they spend S3OO,0N Q week,
leaving Sunday out. In four weeks they

much money as that army OF organized work

the day the general assembly was first called

A Queer Orgy.

About the queercst orgy that has ever
been recorded, we imagine, is described
as follows: 1t might we'll come under
the head of the Revel of the Tube.
While mill somewhere in this country
location not stately was closed for re-
pairs, the long iron tube conducting the
water from the canal to the turbine was
painted with a mixture of benzine and
asphaltum as protection against rust.
While the work was in progress, the
superintendent, while passing by, heard
sounds of hilarity within, which were
not strictly i'll accordance with workman
like conduct, and looking through the
manhole saw the half dozen employees in
boistcrous mirth dancing around paint
ing each others faces and clothes. On
seeing the superintendent they invited
him to come and be frcscocd. Suspect
ing the cause of the difficulty he sum
moncd larger force of men, and much
difficulty was experienced in removing
the men, although before all were taken
out, the remaining ones were already in
a state of partial stupor. The open air
revived them, although it was followed
by true blue Monday headache. The
affair shows that too great care cannot be
exercised when it il necessary to make
use of paint giving off hydrocarbon
vapors in places that are closely confined.

FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS.

The word polite was formerly applied
to glass or marble surfaces, which we
now style polished.
Guns as weapons of warfare were first
used by the Moors in Spain at the siege
of Algeziras in 1914.
The kingdom of Sweden commenced
in 1919, by Amund; snd of Denmark in
1914, by Canute the Great.
1t is said that during its period of
growth, Indian corn dra VS. from the soil
thirty-six times its own weight of water.
Cavendish, in 1865, discovered hydro
gen, and between 1774 and 1TT0 Priest
ley discovered oxygen, azote and nitrous
gas.
Papin, a native of France, and who
died in Germany in 1904, was the first
man to make experiments on the power
of steam.
One of the Massachusetts laws of l617
requires innkeepers to keep "good beer, "
and the penalty for violating the law was
loss of license.
A lady in Lexington, Ca, has ball of
yarn that was spun and wove during the
Revolutionary War, over 100 years ago.
and yet the thread is seemingly sound
and whole.
Among the early Romans commanders
of armies were called ''impcratores, but
when Caesar became Emperor the COM
manders were called dukes or lieutenants
of provinces.
In the reign of James I. men and wo-
men wore looking glasses publicly-the
men, as brooches or ornaments in their
hats, and the women at their girdlcs or on
their bosoms, sometimes like the ladies
of today in the centre of their fans,
which were then made of feathers, in
serted into silver or ivory tubes.
H. A. P. Carter, King Kalakaua's Min
lister at Washington, says that the Ha-
waiian language is very easy one to
learn. 1t is spelled phonetically, and as
every other letter is almost sure to be a
vowel, the pronunciation is not at all diff
fcult. 1t is tradition that an English
bishop once learned enough of the Ian
gnage in six weeks to preach his sermons
in it.
Among the peoples who inhabit the
region near Stanley Falls in Africa is one
which has very peculiar copper coinage,
consisting of enormous spearhcads made
out of very thin copper. One of these is
valued as equal to 200 English pounds
worth of ivory. Everything among them
has its value rcckoned in terms of copper
spears. Tippoo-Tib, the rich and infu-
entail Arab trader whose henchmen not
long ago captured the Stanley Falls
Station, has sent one of these spears to
London. This tribe manufactures highly
artistic metal work.

Follow the Cloud.

All that the children of Israel had to do in
the wilderness was to follow the cloud. If the
cloud rested, they rested if the cloud
moved forward, then they moved as it
did. can imagine the first thing Moses or
any of the people did when the grey dawn Of
morning broke, was to look up and see if the
cloud was still over the camp. By night it
was pillar Of fire, lighting up the camp and
filling them with sense Of Gods protecting
care; by day it was a cloud shielding them
from the fierce heat Of the suns rays and
sheltering them from the sight of their enc
mics.
Israel's Shepherd could lead His people
through the painless desert. Whyl Because
Hemade it. He knew every grain Of sand in
it. They could not have had better leader
through the wilderness than its Creator.
And, sinner, can you in all your difficulties,
or doubts and fears, have better leader than
Jehovah? OH like that good, old hymn:
"Guide me, o Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim, through this barren land
am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold ME with Thy powerful hand;
Bread of Heaven!
Feed me till want no more"
Yes, that is the true prayer Of the bewil-
dered sinner. God is able, and still more, He
is willing to lead us.-[D. L. Moody.

The Fragrant Life.

A while ago I found an exquisite fable
in an old, musty volume, and it is worth re-
calling.
Here stands an old oak with its great,
brawny arms, and which storm and tempest
have only rooted more firmly in the earth
just beneath, on turfy knoll, grew little
violet.
care you not ashamed of yourself" said
the oak one day, when you look up at me,
you little thing down there-when you see
how large am and how small you are, how
wide my branches spread and how little space
you occupy! You will very soon be dead and
gone, but live for centuries, and then my
wood will make mighty ship that will float
over the great deep"
But the violet was happy and content. It
had no lofty, ambitious thoughts, but was
quite satisfied with its lot
"We are both," replied the violet. "where
God placed US, and He has given us both
something. He has given you strength and
me sweetness, and offer Him back my
fragrance and I am thankful. True, may
soon die and be forgotten, but I am well
content, nave lived fragrant, and hope
to die fragrant, and this is all DESIRE

is to calculate about I6ssss on earthly
property, You might without sufficient
thought go in'o that which, in regard to
your soul, in your own parlance might
be called "hazards," "e1tra hazards" ''spe-

Hitchcocks and Sillimans and Mitchells of
the world have united with the sacr sd writers
to make us believe that there is coming

that of Boston in 1872, and that of New York

The BIG Prizes of Literature.

The Philadelphia Press gives some in
terestiDg information about the prices
paid to writers of books. Stanley is to
get $4,000 for the account of the trip he
IS now undertaking. This is one of the
largest sums ever paid for single volume.
Thackeray's largest income from any on
book was not over $25, 900; Wilkic Col
Inns got s2G, 900 for "Armadale" George
Eliot $4,000 for "Middlemarch, "
Scott $4,000 for Woodstock" and
Macaulcy $4,000 for his history. The
$494, 900 received by Mrs. Grant for the
memoirs of the General stands unique
in literature. The earnings of the late
Svlvanus Cobb, Jr., who wrote those re-
markablc tales for the New York L"lger,
were about $40, 900 year. These are the
big prizes of literature. but they illus
tratc the general fact that literary work
was never so lucrative as to-day. The
market value of brains gets higher as the
world becomes more civilized.

What a "Little Bit OF Wine" Did.

please, sir, I am sick. Do not arrest me
for Gods sake"
These words were uttered in the most sup
plicating tones by fashionably dressed lady
who stood in front of the Lieutenant's desk at
Central station one night She was evidently
tlifor-made costume of the latest pattern, and
her every action bespoke the lady. A beautl-
full diamond-set ring sparkled on finger OF her
left hand and solitaires most brilliant shone
resplenient from her ear-drops. She moved
back and forth and grasped the desk to pre-
vent falling. Her fingers appeared powerless,
however and had not officer John kratz
grasped her she would have toppled to the
tioor.
The sight was touching. One of those sad
affairs-a peep behind the scenes The poor
woman was hastily taken from in front Of
those who stood gaping at her and removed
to the cell-room There she gave her name to
Lieutenant Rakel as Mrs. Maggie Moyen, and
her residence as No. la Barr street. She
begged that the matter be kept quiet, even in
her condition realizing the disgrace which
might be brought upon herself and family.
She had been found in the yard Of q residence
near the corner of John and George streets.
She WIS wandering about when discovered.
A patrol wagon was called bfore any lnqulr-
les were mad, and she was taken to tho station
house.
AS near as can be learned the young wo-
man but recently arrived in this city. Her
husband is connected with the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton Railway in lucrative
position, AMI they were married few years
ago in Dayton, Ohio She had been shopping
during the afternoon, and had colled upon
several lady friends. At each place little
bit of wine was indulged in, and the result
was that, being unaccustomed to stimulants,
she became intoxicated. In the cell.room she
got deathly sick, and the heat Of the place
inllamed her brain. She in turns raved and
prayed that her husband might be sent for,
and again that nothing be said and she be
Certainly pit.able. She was kept locked up
until she became sober, when a policeman
escorted her to her residence.-Cincinnai
